Because all must be<br \/>\nexemplary leaders, the first section summarizes how bishops and stake<br \/>\npresidents can personally succeed in sharing the gospel. The second recounts<br \/>\nthe work of a stake president who trained the leaders of each ward in his stake<br \/>\nto develop and use powerful ward mission plans. It describes how he trained, inspired<br \/>\nand followed up with them to insure success. Baptisms in his stake doubled \u2013<br \/>\nand many of those who were baptized came from member referrals. The third<br \/>\nsection describes a bishop who decided to make missionary work the primary<br \/>\nfocus in his ward, believing that this focus<br \/>\nwould bring such spiritual blessings into the hearts and homes of the members<br \/>\nof his ward that the other dimensions of the work of the ward would prosper as<br \/>\nwell. They achieved their goal of baptizing at<br \/>\nleast one new member every month. \u00a0<br \/><span><\/span><br \/><span><\/span>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wsite-content-title\" style=\"text-align:left;\"><font color=\"#3a96b8\" size=\"4\">How can I organize a digital mission to share the gospel online?<\/font><\/h2>\n<div class=\"paragraph\" style=\"text-align:left;\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.everydaymissionaries.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Power of Everyday Missionaries<\/a> is a book about how members can be more effective missionaries which is available through Deseret Book and other retail suppliers.\u00a0 Chapter 7 summarizes how the Cambridge MA Stake and the Boston MA Mission have organized and built a digital mission.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wsite-content-title\" style=\"text-align:left;\"><font color=\"#3a96b8\" size=\"4\">How can I make my administrative meetings more productive?<\/font><\/h2>\n<div class=\"paragraph\" style=\"text-align:left;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/missionaryleaders.org\/uploads\/3\/1\/0\/3\/31038995\/making_time_by_using_it_well_1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Making Time by Using It Well<\/a><br \/>This piece describes how two missionaries caused their ward council meetings to spend more and more time on missionary work, because the time spent was so productive.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How can I become a great ward mission leader? \ufeffLeading a Great Ward Mission\ufeff\u00a0(Click the green title for the ENGLISH PDF)This is a booklet that will take about an hour to study.
